What's Happening in Downsview, ON…

Downsview’s new Humber River Regional Hospital is scheduled to open its doors in less than a year, and the public’s help is being sought in funding the purchase of new equipment and other items.

While much of the cash for the construction of the hospital has come from the government, donations from the public and the corporate sector are needed to help provide the $225 million that will be needed to pay for all the other associated costs.

So far, $65 million has been collected. A printing company can help organizers reach the fundraising goal by producing promotional materials.

According to the CEO of Humber River Hospital Foundation, the new facility will provide top quality care and digital services at a level that are the first of their kind in North America.

The goal is that it will reduce the amount of paperwork that is required and improve the efficiency of patient care. This will allow the health care providers to have more time to spend with the patients. It will also give those who come to the hospital their health records in their primary language, which it is hoped will lead to better outcomes.

Anyone who would like to get involved and make a donation, or get more information, is invited to visit the Humber River Hospital Foundation’s website.
